I am a case junky. Just got this case. Best case I have seen for our phone. Way cooler looking, nice lip for front of phone to keep glass off surface, and for that typepf case, it fits better than otterbox, and Trident, while having a slimmer footprint. EXCELLENT case
What other cases do you have or used? I currently have the Seidio Surface (W/O kickstand) and offcial HTC case from AT&T.
I'm looking for a little bit thicker case than the HTC one. Can't choose between Case Mat Barely There or Incpipio Feather. Might just buy both
In ordered mine a week ago. It's sitting at my house waiting for me. Can't wait till I get back home on friday to check it out! It looks slick as hell.

We'll its an identical case I think, it's just metallic. The pictures look incredibly sexy and I'm hoping it looks as nice in person as it does in the pictures because then it will become the new king of cases. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Same brand as silicrylic, although if I'm not mistaken, the Shine has a hard back case, as opposed to the 'strange' feeling back of the Silicrylic Dual.
To those rockin the official HTC one from ATT, have you noticed some strange markings on the back of the phone (White version) where the case doesn't cover? My white one has darker lines from where the blue case doesn't cover.
@MetalHead What are your top favorite cases?

1. Incipio Silicrylic
2. Diztronic TPU

Of all the cases I own, those are the only ones that I use.
Once again, I just want to remind everyone of the Mofi pouch.
You can see Matias Duarte taking the Nexus 4 out of a Mofi pouch here:

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this since I've used this pouch ever since I bought my Galaxy Nexus. Bought it twice and will probably buy one more when I order the Nexus 4.
I'm not luckyexpress168, just of fan of the high quality product. Here's his/her store link:

Nice. Been using on my gnex a pouch similar to the original Nexus one pouch but this seems better

I bought that as well when I got my Galaxy Nexus but yes, this is thicker and because N4 is 5mm shorter in length, it should fit better than even the Galaxy Nexus.
Which item are you guys purchasing? I don't see Nexus 4 anywhere.
awesome! I was wondering what case Matias was using! Just ordered the "Kangaroo" version (not because I'm Aussie ) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/36046530...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3419wt_1397 (This should fit the Nexus 4, Nexus 4 is smaller than the SGS3 except for the thickness)

Are these MoFi pouches totally soft or do they have material that provide firmness? If I am not mistaken, the MoFi pouch seems to be just soft fabric.
(I've been using a leather pouch for the Galaxy Nexus, which provides good protection against edge drops.)

Yes they are completely soft, but from my experience with my HOX they are plenty thick enough to protect the screen when I dropped it. Kind of like a synthetic felt kind of fabric which cleans the screen every time you push/pull your phone from the pouch; quite a tight fit though... headphones never really fit in too well. Still, best pouch I ever owned and much better than a bully case. Had a bright orange one myself, sucker for bright colours hope that helps.
I really, really want a Mofi pouch, but I'm not sure which one I should order! What device is closest to the Nexus 4 in terms of dimensions?
To those that keep their phones in pouches, too you guys put the phone and pidgin your pocket or do you keep both in a bag? Random and weird question, I know. I wear Levis 511 and am curious how you guys carry them

I think a Galaxy Nexus pouch would fit the N4.
The tmobile t989-galaxy s2 case is like 4 mm off height wise, but almost spot on everywhere else.
Specs via phonearena.com
Nexus 4- 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1 mm
T989- 130 x 69 x 9 mm

I would agree with that statement. If you watch theVerge video where they are talking to Matias, he pulls the Nexus 4 out of the Mofi Pouch. Since i don't think anyone at Google told Mofi about the specific dimensions, and it's not likely that he has a GS3 since he works at Google, my bet is that he used the Mofi Pouch with his Galaxy Nexus and it fit great via the video.

Just ordered the GS3 pouch to fit with my diztronic hardcase thats shipped out, if there is enough material left at the top, I'm thinking a premium button would work to snap it closed,..we'll see in couple days
I brought one of these for my N4. Can't recommend enough!
I have been looking for something this simple. Thanks for the link I just bought one. Note that there's a small note on the site saying #76 fits the N4.
tempted to order one, do you guys think N4+rearth slim case fit the default N4 size. Or should I get the bigger one, eg One X.. hmm

I have both, and with the case it's a really tight fit. ill see if i can post pics in the evening
I purchased a leather sleeve from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00992V0WW/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00) but it was too snug (yes, I realize the leather would break-in) but it was VERY difficult to remove the phone and frequently the power/volume buttons would get pressed in doing so.
I just ordered one of these (#76); can't wait to get it! $12 seems like a nice price shipped as well (sorry non-US persons).

I will be interested in how it works. If the mofi pouch does not work with my diztronic TPU case, I might do the same.
PS You can contact them with the exact measurements of your encased N4. They will verify what size will work best.

i'll be getting my bumper in the next few days, but i can say that the Rearth slim case is a tight fit. so the bumper may be an even tighter fit or not at all. i would wait.....

To clarify, you are referring to the Nexus 4 sized [#76] one right? Not the Galaxy S3 sized one, which OP has ordered?

I just got back an e-mail from Waterfield about the bumper + phone fit and their phone. I had found the dimensions to the phone with the bumper on from a another thread (and am assuming that they're true).
Thanks for checking in with us. You'd probably have to go with a bigger size because our #76 size is meant to be a snug fit the Nexus 4 naked, i.e. without case. So anything bigger would be too tight or not fit at all.
You're on the right track to give me the new measurements of your phone with case on. Based on those specs, it looks like the closest fit would be our #84 size which was made for the Samsung Galaxy Note (5.78" x 3.26" x 0.38" in).

I've had one of these sleeves for my Nexus S. Overall it was very minimal and was perfect for what I wanted (although it did gather a lot of dust on it). But, I am not sure about going with something that doesn't fit so snug - as there's nothing keeping the phone in the sleeve besides the cloth itself.
I have a pouch 73 (for S3) and am sad to report that NO the pouch no longer fits when the phone has the official bumper on. The pouch needs to be about 80mm width in order to fit the phone.

That's too bad. Do you have any other case? If so, please check whether it works with it .. I think the bumper significantly changes the dimensions of the phone compared to other cases like diztronic.
My diztronic hardcase+pouch should arrive today
Update: my case is in, should have the pouch tomarrow
Update 2: I should have the case today, sold my evo v yesterday so won't be able to post pics of it on the phone

I received the Waterfield SFBags pouch for the N4 today (#76). Overall, it's what I expected. Attached are some pics.
Awesome, my gs3 pouch should be in today, I'll update on whether it fits with the diztronic hardcase

My leather case from German company Fitbag arrived. It's beautifully made, from nappa leather with a microfibre lining, and was apparently tailor made to fit the phone. I can't recommend it though. While it's not as tight as it was, you not only need to dedicate both hands to the task of getting it out, you need to slide a thumbnail in the mic slot to get enough purchase.
I can see myself using this when travelling but the closeness of the fit and the lack of slashes at the opening to get a grip means I'd be quite likely to flip the slippery thing on to the pavement when trying to answer a call in a hurry.
My fault entirely for ordering badly. The pouch was clearly photographed on the company's website and will suit other buyers.

I ordered a Fitbag bag style case as well (Link to amazon). Mine is made of Alcantara and of superb quality. You do need both hands to pull the phone out, but since I moved from a Nexus One with its included Neoprene sock I wanted something similar for the Nexus 4.
I ordered the FitBAG for Samsung G3 for my Nexus from Amazon.de - As I thought it would be slightly larger so it would take the Nexus 4 with Bumper fitted - It does not.
I was after a excellent quality cover which would fit the phone with bumper attached...
Is it similar mofi pouch or similar material

Has anyone tried any of these cases from e-cell? They seem to have lots of variety.

I tried adding them to cart and ordering from Canada. It seems like they ship for free!!!
That's less than C$8 a piece. The soccer jersey ones are C$16.
Any info is appreciated.
If not, I'll order one and review one myself for others.
I am presently using Ringke Slim cases which is one of the best cases for this gorgeous phone.
They're just your generic cheap plastic cases.

Good lord, you really just uploaded all those screen caps?
I received one a couple days ago, I got the classic camera. The picture on it is nowhere near as nice as in the listing. Its less bright and sharp looking. The black parts of the "camera" on mine is textured. I think some are glossy smooth depending on which you go for.
The fit itself is good but provides no protection fo rthe top/bottom if that is what you are looking for. One thing I don't like is mine has a cut out for the sim slot but I have seen one which doesn't have this.
Here's the website for them http://goheadcase.com
